INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Firestone Industrial Products Company, LLC has developed new installation videos to show step-by-step instructions to outfit a pickup truck with one of the company’s popular no-drill Ride-Rite™ air helper spring kits or their Digital Air Command™ I air accessory system.

 

The Ride-Rite system features double-convoluted air springs that mount between the vehicle’s frame and axle to offer added load support, vehicle leveling and improved ride comfort.  Because of Firestone’s no-drill design, the air helper spring kits utilize the vehicle’s factory holes for an easy installation.  To view the 8-minute installation video, simply log on to www.ride-rite.com and click on the “Tech Support” section in the left-hand column.

 

Digital Air Command I is designed to provide an instant air source for all Firestone air helper spring kits and features an electronic control that allows users to adjust air pressure at the push of a button from inside the vehicle.  The system comes with a digital gauge, a standard duty air compressor, valve block, and necessary tubing and fittings.  The Digital Air Command I install video lasts about 10 minutes.

 

“Both our no-drill Ride-Rite air helper spring kits and Digital Air Command I accessory systems come complete with everything needed for installation, which typically takes between one and two hours,” said Todd Green, regional sales manager, Firestone Industrial Products, Ride-Rite division.  “The goal of these new videos is to show our customers how easy the installations are and help them feel comfortable following the simple steps that are demonstrated by Firestone’s tech team.”

 

Although the new Firestone videos are representative of a typical product install, purchasers should review the installation instructions that are included in the Ride-Rite kit or air accessory system box prior to installation.  Each vehicle has different mounting instructions and tool requirements.

 

Ride-Rite load carrying capacities vary between 3,000 and 5,000 lbs. per set.  (Note: Air springs do not increase the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle. Do not exceed the vehicle’s recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating [GVWR]).
